This is a pretty long dungeon so you can leave at any point to heal up and replenish supplies as you wish.

Mausoleum Catacombs

Mausoleum Catacombs Guide
1 Head back to the Catacombs Entrance and head back down again. Ignore the locked gates again since you still can't unlock them as of now.
2 A Friend in Need
When you get back to where you fought Undead Grius, you'll encounter Catherina who will give you a side quest called A Friend in Need. Afterwards, head up the stairs to enter the cathedral.
▶ How to Complete A Friend in Need

Prayer Chamber

Prayer Chamber Guide
1 Once you enter the cathedral, you can head straight ahead to get to the Magla Hollow safe room. However, you can also defeat enemies and pick up any item you find first.
▶ Regalith Grand Cathedral Dungeon Walkthrough
2 When you're ready, head up the stairs to start a cutscene with some guards talking about hostages you will need to save. The key that you'll need to rescue them is on a desk in an area directly down below.
3 Metaphor Refantazio - Sleeping Guard.png
Make your way downstairs and head into the area on the right. A brief cutscene will then start with a sleeping guard. In the same room, there will be a green item on the table to the right so pick it up for the Chamber Side Room Key.
4 Catherina Bond
Go back up and unlock the door to rescue the people inside. You'll also find Cahterina's friend here which automatically completes her Side Quest. This also unlocks Catherina as a follower, as well as the Brawler Archetype!
▶ All Followers and How to Unlock Bonds
5 Open the chest and save if you wish, then head back down to defeat any enemies and pick up items in the large area opposite where you got the key.
6 When you're ready, approach the pack of white wolves in the center and defeat them to move on forward. Afterwards, head up the path to start another cutscene stating that you'll need to ascend to the floors above.

Servant's Chamber

Servant's Chamber Guide
1 Once you reach the top and the cutscene ends, enter the Magla Hollow on the right to unlock a new safe room. When you're ready, head on forward.
2 Ignore the chest and the door on the right for now since they're locked. Go through the doorway to the left where you'll encounter a bunch of new undead enemies.

It's recommended to bring a Healer and Mage in this area for multiple AoE Synthesis Skills, but it's also okay to bring only a Mage.
▶ All Archetypes and Jobs
3 Go to Exclamation Marks
Explore any side areas for items, defeating enemies on the way, but the priority is to make your way to the Exclamation Marks in the area for important items.
4 Metaphor Refantazio - Hidden Tunnel Beside Dying Monk
Follow the path on the left to get to the item behind the blocked-off door via the room behind it. This is the Guest Room Key that's needed to access the next room that has an exclamation mark.

To get there, you'll need to crawl through a small tunnel behind some barrels to the left of the Dying Monk.
5 Metaphor Refantazio - AoE Fire Weakness
Head on back to the other path and head towards the next exclamation mark. Once you get there, prepare yourself as entering the room will start a battle against five Mornetos. Make sure you have AoE Fire or Light Synthesis Skills ready so that you can quickly take them down.
▶ Synthesis Skills Explained
6 After the battle, you'll talk to a Dying Monk who will give you the Treasure Chest Key for the chest earlier. Instead of heading back immediately, proceed to the next area first so you can also unlock the door that was locked.
7 Trance Crystal
Proceed forward until you reach a Trance Crystal. This will infinitely spawn enemies which can be both a good and bad thing. On one hand, you have a way to farm enemies, but on the other, it can be annoying if you don't wish to farm them anymore.

It's recommended to destroy this crystal since there will be another one later and it'll be safe to unlock the door to the right.
8 Metaphor Refantazio - Sanctified Amulet Chest
Head through and back to the initial area with the locked chest. After opening it, head back to the safe room if you wish and, when you're ready, continue following the path to the final exclamation mark.
9 Defeat more enemies and collect more items until you reach the end of this area. Head to the room to the left and talk to the Traumatised Soldier to get the Altar Chamber Key that's required to unlock the door opposite the room they're in.

Altar Chamber

Altar Chamber Guide
1 Once you unlock the door and go through, there will be a Plateau Mirage on the right allowing you to save or leave the area if you wish. When you're ready, head on forward to the large storage area.
2 Defeat enemies and collect items on the way up until you reach another Plateau Mirage right in front of a door. Make a save here as you'll face a boss when you go through the doorway.

It's recommended to bring a party consisting of a Brawler, Warrior, and Knight to enable the Brawler's Strike and Knight's Pierce Synthesis Skills.
3 Metaphor Refantazio - Louisian Mage Captain Boss
When you're ready, head on through to fight the Louisian Mage Captain and some Skeletons. Deal with the skeletons first with the Brawler's AoE Strike Skills so you can focus fire the soldier with your Knight's Pierce Skills.
* Demo End
If you're playing the Demo, this is where the game will end. You'll need to load a previous save before the boss fight if you want to resume playing the Demo version of the game.
▶ Demo Release Guide and Length
4 After defeating the boss, head into the safe room on the left to save and unlock a new fast travel point. When you're ready, head forward to the next area.

Reception Chamber

Reception Chamber Guide
1 Be Careful of Gargoyle Enemies
In this area, there are Gargoyles that disguise themselves as inanimate objects unless you approach them. Keep an eye out for any discoloured statues so that you don't get ambushed by one of these enemies.
2 Barrier Blocking Elevator
Going through this area, you'll come across a barrier that's blocking the way upwards. Ignore this for now and continue east and up the ladder until you reach another cutscene.
3 Explore the area, defeating enemies and collecting items as you wish, until you need to cross the arms of a giant statue. After crossing to the other side, head further down until you reach another Magla Hollow Safe Room.

Make a save here as the next area has annoying Spekto enemies that like to disappear and ambush you. It's recommended to just initiate Squad Battle so you don't run the risk of getting ambushed.
4 Five Spektos Mini-Boss
Once you're ready, head towards the room that's housing the crystal. You'll need to fight five Spektos once you go through the door so make sure to quickly kill them with AoE Fire and Light Skills before they summon more Spektos or Hex your team.
5 After they've been defeated, you'll destroy the crystal and dispel any barriers on this floor. Once the cutscene ends, you'll spawn right in front of the elevator. Make a save using the Plateau Mirage before heading to the elevator platform.
6 Louisian Mage Captain and two Louisian Sword Captains Mini-Boss
When you approach the elevator, a Louisian Mage Captain and two Louisian Sword Captains will come down to fight you. The Mage will have the same weaknesses and resistances as earlier while the Swordsmen will be weak to Ice.
7 After the fight, you'll finally be able to head up to the next area. Go back to Plateau to make a save, if you wish, before taking the elevator up.

Royal Portrait Hall to Heavenly Staircase

Royal Portrait Hall to Heavenly Staircase Guide
1 The path forward is pretty straightforward so just continue until you reach a Magla Hollow. It's recommended to ignore the enemies here first since the two Homo Fulqulios here can be pretty tough if you're low on MP and resources.
2 Make a save as the next area has a lot of Louisian Captains. When you're ready, either defeat all the enemies or ignore them and head up the stairs to the next area.
3 Head down the hall until a cutscene starts. Once it ends, head outside and make your way up the Heavenly Staircase until you reach a Plateaur Mirage. Make another save as you're about to fight Zorba the Necromancer
4 Zorba Boss Fight
When you're ready, head through the door to face Zorba. Ideally, use AoE Light Skills to get rid of his Corpsethralls while also hitting him with an unresisted attack. Just make sure you avoid using Fire, Ice, Electric, and Wind since Zorba resists all of these attacks.
▶ How to Beat Zorba
5 Once he's been defeated, you'll have successfully completed this quest! However, the threat is not over as you'll now need to Thwart Zorba's Plan.
